Introducing the $199/Month Wegovy® Self-Pay Promotion at Life IV Weight Loss
Life IV Weight Loss’s Co-Founder and CEO Justin explains the $199/month Wegovy® self-pay program and the insurance changes at Life IV Weight Loss. Learn more at www.lifeivweightloss.com.
Why Wegovy®?
Wegovy® (semaglutide) is one of the most effective weight loss medications currently available. It belongs to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which help regulate appetite and improve metabolic control. Clinical trials have shown that patients can lose up to 15% of their body weight when combined with lifestyle changes.
As demand for Wegovy® has skyrocketed, insurance coverage has become more complex, and costs have risen. That’s why this new self-pay program is such a big deal.
About the $199/Month Promotion
In collaboration with Novo Nordisk, Life IV Weight Loss is offering a self-pay supply of Wegovy® for just $199/month. Here’s what you get:
- One-month supply of Wegovy®
- Easy, fast pharmacy fulfillment (no insurance approval required)
- No contracts—cancel any time
- Continued access while supplies last through Novo Nordisk’s distribution partners
Who Qualifies?
This program is open to clients who:
- Are clinically appropriate for GLP-1 therapy (BMI and health status reviewed)

Why Life IV Weight Loss is Partnering with Novo Nordisk
Life IV Weight Loss is committed to giving our clients affordable and medically sound access to life-changing therapies. By working directly with Novo Nordisk, we can:
- Lower the barrier to entry for people struggling with weight
- Offer a trusted alternative to online “pop-up” med spas and risky compounded alternatives
- Maintain high standards of safety and efficacy with FDA-approved dosing and pharmacy handling
Understanding Insurance Limitations
While Life IV Weight Loss accepts insurance for many clients, the reality is that most plans do not cover GLP-1s like Wegovy® unless you meet very strict guidelines—and even then, they often deny coverage after a few months.
Insurance clients must:
- Submit to prior authorization paperwork
- Have documented proof of failed weight loss attempts
- Be prepared for delays, appeals, and out-of-pocket costs
That’s not the case with the self-pay program—it’s a streamlined, judgment-free zone where you can focus on your health, not red tape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the real Wegovy® from Novo Nordisk?
Yes. This is not compounded. It’s the official, branded Wegovy® from Novo Nordisk, shipped through a licensed pharmacy partner.
Can I switch from insurance to self-pay?
Absolutely. If your insurance denies coverage or you’re tired of jumping through hoops, we can help you transition to the self-pay program with no gap in care.
Can I switch back to insurance later?
Yes, as long as your insurance begins covering Wegovy® again. However, there are no guarantees you’ll qualify or be approved, which is why many clients stay self-pay for simplicity.
